It was a betrayal, no doubt, of a bodyguard killing the leader. But it was not a khalistan demanding person who killed her. He killed her to avenge the Operation Blue-Star which the Sikhs believe is the betrayal of a highest order. <BR/>Not justifying anything though.<BR/>I wish the example of a secular family of the Sardar and his Bengali wife were followed. No Delhi-1984, no Babri-2002, no Ayodhya-1992 would have happened.Mampihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02151567171626446275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5671536805876663540.post-85011155689888462332008-12-09T02:13:00.000+05:302008-12-09T02:13:00.000+05:30Thanks, everybody, once again. 1984 seems to be th...Thanks, everybody, once again. 1984 seems to be the entrypoint of terrorism in the Indian consciousness, the death of innocence, the beginning of fear.Sucharita Sarkarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802171314546508539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5671536805876663540.post-9722111892970734922008-12-04T11:04:00.000+05:302008-12-04T11:04:00.000+05:30have left email on your gmail.

I was ...I remember Indira Gandhi assassination too. I was quite young. And School closed. I faintly remember commenting how could it happen - big people have bodyguards. Little did I know.<BR/><BR/>About the anti-Sikh riots I remember little. My locality is full of Sikhs. But I guess some sort of sanity was there. But I was surprised to hear one of aunts say that a particular Sikh was so 'crafty' that he shaved off his hair. Even then I was surprised.

I realised that one could kill ones neighbour just because he wore a patka, the previous days shared lassi be damned. My father talks of communal riots of the days of partition. <BR/>Oh dear.

Add to that the uncertainities in life today, given the varieties of personal crime, and one worries incessantly when someone is late etc (regardless of cell phones). Quite simply, the mind has been terrorized......Ugich Konitarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901335427613806798noreply@blogger.com
